Eh... It's not my taste. But whatever floats your boat.

I'm not super into any of the lists I've seen so far. Hmm...

I haven't heard of that last one.

That's a neat one. You don't often see splits in these threads

3. YG - Still Brazy
4. David Bowie - Blackstar

Extremely weak year IMO

>Extremely weak year IMO
Take it back!

I've heard 100 of the biggest and most critically acclaimed albums from this year and literally only my top 2 from my list I think are even over an 8/10

compared to last year this is a complete joke

>I've heard 100 of the biggest and most critically acclaimed albums from this year
There's your problem.

2015 was a total bust, though.

1. The Impossible Kid
2. 22, a Million
3. 99.9%
4. The Life of Pablo
5. 24k Magic or Big Baby DRAM

I mean, it's not like it's all mainstream stuff. I've been following week by week and listening to whatever looked interesting. Id send you my entire list if it'd help me find more gems for this year, almost every major project made me want to kill myself except Deakin. any advice for 2017?

2015 was great though.

I wasn't thrilled with 2015. I've been inundated with 2016 albums I've been super excited about.

My list is

1. Blackstar
2. ASMP
3. Preoccupations-Preoccupations
4. Love Streams-Tim Hecker
5. MEGA-Blank Banshee

1. Front Row Seat to Earth - Weyes Blood
2. MY WOMAN - Angel Olsen
3. 22, A Million - Bon Iver
4. A Moon Shaped Pool - Radiohead
5. Puberty 2 - Mitski

The Glowing Man
22, a Million

1. I'm assuming it's going to be "Awaken, My Love!" when it comes out but for now I'll say Blonde.
2. Starboy
3. Imperial
4. 99.9%
5. And the Anonymous Nobody

Also FUCK YOU

Doing Top 5 is so difficult I'm now debating if I should've put Atrocity Exhibition in there SOMEWHERE and also We Got it From Here because I've been waiting for a Tribe Called Quest album for years

Cody - Joyce manor
Bottomless pit - death grips
Dear you, it can't wait - dying adolescent
Companion - braids
Child sacrifice - pill friends

Wow someone who remembers the Big Ups album. Still one of my favorites, sad most people forgot about it

just realized i havent even listened to the tribe album yet lol

3. David Bowie – Blackstar
4. TV Girl – Who Really Cares
5. Frank Ocean – Blonde

...

good taste, I rate tomppabeats alongside Madlib, Dilla, and Nujabes in terms of beat creativity

>2. Bon Iver – A Moon Shaped Pool

Shit, really? Those are some really lofty comparisons.

1. Deakin - Sleep Cycle
2. Angel Olsen - My Woman
3. Parquet Courts - Human Performance
4. Car Seat Headrest - Teens of Denial
5. DIIV - Is the Is Are

Agree with others that 2016 has been lackluster musicwise aside from Memetallica which was better than I expected it to be.

what was your list last year?

his execution doesn't rival any of them, but the potential is there. definitely give his shit a try my dude

Top 5 Last Year
1. Viet Cong - Self-Titled
2. Mac Demarco - Another One
3. Deerhunter - Fading Frontier
4. Jamie XX - In Colour
5. Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell

so I assume Preoccupations was as big a let down for you as it was for me? I dont hate but that was a pretty huge step down I think.

Pic related is my OC from a thread a few weeks back

Biggest letdown of the year for me and I think the band feels the same way. I saw them play about a month ago and they only played 4 songs off the new record compared to the entire S/T

Top 5 EPOTY

1. Carly Rae Jepsen - Side B
2. Black Sabbath - The End
3. Charli XCX - Vroom Vroom
4. Die Antwoord - Suck On This
5. Krallice - Hyperion

If it's over about 25 minutes then its an LP I don't care what they call it. Previous released songs, remixes, etc. can be discounted for time qualification.

>the entire S/T
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

now I'm really sorry I missed them. I had to work.

BLACKSTAR

NAILS NEWEST ALBUM I FORGOT WHAT


UHH

no particular order

Human Performance
Blackstar
Not Once, Not Never
A Moon Shaped Pool

Plenty of good metal this year but other than that it's been pretty dull

1. AMSP
2. Blackstar
3. Atrocity Exhibition
